You Might Be a Homeschooler

Kateri sent this to me today and I laughed out loud watching it. Only because it was so very inaccurate, of course. Ahem!

Knows His Mom

I took the younger kids on a hike in the woods this afternoon. A few minutes in, the trail got a little rough and wet. At one particularly messy spot, 10-year-old Stephen, our fearless leader, paused and looked back.

“Hold on just a minute, everyone,” he said with concern. “Mama, are you wearing heels?”

In Which We Consider Things That Really Matter and Get Banned In the Process

“Style, Sex, and Substance” book trailer from Hallie Lord on Vimeo.

I am a little late to this party, but I was amused last week when I heard that the awesomely cute trailer for Hallie Lord’s new book, Style, Sex, and Substance: 10 Catholic Women Consider the Things that Really Matter (now available! on Amazon!) was banned from YouTube. Vimeo is more liberal-minded than YouTube, apparently, so you can watch the trailer, with all its delicious ban-able scandal above.

So many wonderful women contributed to this project and I was honored to be a part of it.

Order your copy at Amazon.

Or buy the Kindle version.

Congratulations, Hallie! What a wonderful accomplishment!

So You’re Bored Anyway …

Why not vote for the new Catholic Digest in this year’s Catholic Reader’s Choice Awards?

And while you are over there, please also vote for me in the Best Catholic to Follow on Twitter category. I tweet therefore I am, so it would be an honor to make a good showing in this contest.

You can vote once per day between now and March 21. Thanks for your support!

Fr. Leo, We Love You!

(I turned this video off in a panic the first time I attempted to watch it. I had little kids looking over my shoulder and I thought I saw something inappropriate. I did not. Fr. Leo is a little cheeky, maybe, but not inappropriate.)
